Over ons
The United Repair Centre provides an alternative to buying new by offering clothing repair services for brands. As a cross-industry collaboration between apparel brands, consultancy groups, government agencies, NGOs, and education institutions, we strive to make clothing repair the new norm. We believe that we can make a difference in reducing textile waste while benefiting local communities. With the United Repair Centre, we strive to support the talent of people who might face difficulties in accessing the labour market. At the same time, we strive to create a positive social impact by providing training and employment opportunities to newcomers with refugee backgrounds, young adults and other job seekers. All of our repair experts are newcomers with refugee backgrounds and young adults so that they can tap their full potential within the textile industry.

👉 Thami Schweichler, will be stepping into the Donut Economy Forum on November 8 at Pakhuis de Zwijger. 🍩 The Doughnut Economy, developed by Kate Raworth, is a reflection of our shared commitment to people-first and sustainable solutions. It's about designing an economy that nurtures both people and the planet, just like we do at URC. As Amsterdam strives to become the first ‘doughnut city,’ this forum will explore the model's core principles and ways for businesses and local initiatives to drive sustainable change. 👉 Check more info. https://lnkd.in/e4_ZzxFW Amsterdam Donut Coalitie Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL)Willem van Winden Thanks for bringing Amsterdam closer to the donut! #DoughnutEconomy #SustainableFuture #PeopleFirst #AmsterdamDonut

🪡 Thami Schweichler joined San Sebastián Semana de la Moda to spotlight the powerful role of repair in the future of fashion sustainability. At the Spanish national gathering for sustainability, Thami joined industry experts from throughout Europe to share United Repair Centre's vision of a future where every piece of textile can be repaired to last, sparking a wave of change. 🌍 With the EU’s 2030 vision calling for textiles that are recyclable, repairable, and durable, this change isn’t just essential, it’s transformative. 'Fostering a local repair industry can be a crucial step towards reducing the 48 billion kg of garments thrown away yearly´ 💫 Together, we’re making a significant impact by cutting down waste, tackling overproduction, and inspiring circular practices in the clothing industry. With thanks to José Ignacio Asensio Bazterra, Mónica Pedreira, Gipuzkoa de Moda and Gipuzkoako Foru Aldundia - Diputación Foral de Gipuzkoa for inviting us to be part of the conversation! #CircularFashion #Repairmovement #ssmf24 #ssmf
